I’ve been taking a lot of walks lately and have been super inspired by the woods near my place. It’s so different from Japan but I like how overgrown it is. I really just wanted to draw that concrete and metal railing and that’s how the idea came to be!

Koi mermaids for #mermay . Living so close to the woods is so nice for inspiration, so many greens and blues. I like doing these little environment studies. I’ve been really motivated to draw lately and I hope I can make a habit out of it.

Started off as a little sketch after looking at some of my older stuff and I really love how it turned out. Gives me Murakami vibes for some reason.

Oh, we’re using our made-up names? In that case, I’m Spider-Man. Just a quick little sketch while I had a bit of time today.

4/11. Blow all my friendships to sit in hell with you. So I’m back in Vancouver for good and it’s been surreal. I thought I might as well start drawing again now that life has calmed down a bit before some more crazy shit. I really liked drawing this, it all came together pretty smoothly after the first sketches.

3/11. A couple rebel top guns. Took a bit of a break there... I sound like a broken record but I’ve been super busy and there have been more important things I’ve had to do besides drawing, but here it is!

Bubble tea breaks. I needed a break from adulting so I drew this and had a nice relaxing day yesterday. Ready to get back into it though.

2/11 Go astray with me. This was a little different than what I’d imagine but I’m happy with it. There are a couple process videos when you swipe through.

1/11 That green light. Swipe through to see the super messy speed paint! So I’ve been gone a long time and I have to apologize. I’ll be moving soon and I spent the last month preparing for that and saying goodbyes. Anyway, this illustration was a bit of fun and the first in a series... it’s a bit outside of what I am comfortable drawing but I am pretty happy with the outcome.

Another quick illustration because I needed to get something out there. Had a bit of a day but that’s just the way it goes.

The crossover. I have to be honest and say I’m not feeling this but I don’t completely hate it with this crop. I might revisit this next week or so... enjoy! . . . #illustration #illustrator #drawing #sketch #doodle #anime #manga #fanart #sailormoon #usagi #digitalart #digitaldrawing #pokemon #pikachu #ipadpro #ipadproart #procreate #procreateapp #applepencil #dailydoodle #dailydrawing #adrawingaday #drawingwithjacobkow #drawingtimelapse

I really just wanted to post something. Just a simple sketch to get some ideas flowing. Luckily I think this was enough to get me out of a loooong rut and back into drawing. Expect more soon!

Swipe through to see the process video of the sketching and line art! A friend of mine has the best hair and I really wanted to draw a character with her hair. This was just a quick drawing because another one I had in mind just wasn’t working out.

Stomach in knots. Swipe through to see the crazy number of sketch layers I went through! This spring will be one hell of a ride and I’m nervous, scared, excited, and anxious. The days are going by so fast and I’m going crazy. Just had to get this feeling out and hope I get a handle on it soon. Art is a way I work through stuff and that’s kinda why my work this year has been a little more chaotic. I really feel a lot more comfortable with what I’ve been doing but it is a lot different than my stuff a year ago. Either way, I hope you enjoy it! . . . #sketch #illustration #illustrator #stress #anxiety #mentalhealth #drawing #doodle #procreate #procreateapp #procreateart #ipadproart #applepencil #digitaldrawing #digitalsketch #smoke #drawingwithjacobkow #adrawingaday #dailydoodle #dailydrawing #artistoninstagram #drawingtimelapse

Year of the dog. Super bright colours are my favourite to use for my characters but I would never wear them, how about you? Swipe through to see the time lapse! Started this yesterday at work and finished it on the train on the way to dinner last night. It’s so nice to be able to draw on the go. Hope you’re all having a wonderful weekend!

The end of the rooster. Swipe through for detail shots and a bit of the process video! Sorry for not posting yesterday, I was hoping to draw a Maiko wearing a graphic kimono with a rooster but nothing was turning out. I have to say I’m extremely happy with this illustration though. I knew I wanted to keep drawing my original idea but it was thanks to @k2rte for the suggestion of the skull that really pushed my imagination. I really hope you enjoy it! . . . #illustration #illustrator #drawing #doodle #procreate #procreateapp #ipadpro #ipadproart #applepencil #digitalpainting #digitaldrawing #digitalart #japan #kimono #pattern #tattoos #skeleton #skull #rooster #酉 #yearoftherooster #dailydoodle #dailydrawing #adrawingaday #artistsoninstagram #digitalartist #sketch #drawingtimelapse #timelapse #process

Tryst in the construction yard. Swipe for details! This took me forever but I’m really proud of myself. I tried to create an interesting atmosphere instead of a technically well done illustration. It’s what I imagine some high school kids would do on a Saturday after or instead of club. I really hope you enjoy it! . . . #illustration #drawing #illustrator #procreate #procreateapp #procreateart #art #artist #ipadpro #applepencil #ipadproart #digitaldrawing #digitalart #digitalpainting #japan #tryst #schoolgirl #yankii #keitruck #dailydoodle #dailydrawing #adrawingaday #artistoninstagram #digitalartist #drawingwithjacobkow #drawingtimelapse #sketch #process
